Answer:

Ethanol is most likely to be a (B), competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

The poisoing occurs because of the harmful metabolites produced by the alcohol dehydrogenases, enzymes in charge of breaking down alcohol.

Hence, the most likely strategy of an antidote is to compete for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the methanol convertion to harmful chemicals.

Ethanol does not produce these metabolites and it is preferentially proccessed by the body, so it is a competitive inhibitor, competing for the active site.

Explain how famine, disease, and war are more likely with larger populations.​
Iteru [2.4K]
Famine- High population means more mouths to feed
Disease- Diseases usually spread more quickly with people who live closer( as it can just move from one person to the other)
War- People like to fight for land, resources, money, etc. And having more of those things mean they are more able to support families, communities, and more.

(Hope this helps a little)

Atoms gain electrons to form anions.

Atoms lose electrons to form cations.

Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.

Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).

Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).

There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.
